The case has prompted intervention from the Pope and US President Donald Trump, who offered support for the baby, with hospitals in both countries offering to take Charlie.

His parents want him to be sent to the United States for experimental therapy - Wenstrup and Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., say they'll introduce a bill to grant the family legal permanent residence, presumably easing their path to seeking life-saving treatment in the U.S.

Last Thursday, several researchers, clinicians, and a US doctor sent a letter to the Great Ormond Street Hospital explaining that there is evidence that an experimental "deoxynucleoside therapy" could potentially help Charlie Gard.

"He is our son".

On Friday, it was announced that the hospital had applied to the high court for a new hearing to decide whether Charlie should be given the experimental drug, as urged by doctors in the USA and Rome.

The intervention comes as more than 350,000 people signed a petition urging the baby's doctors to allow him to receive treatment overseas, and his family said the "fight is not over". They concluded the baby was "being exposed to continued pain, suffering and distress" and undergoing experimental treatment with "no prospects of success. would offer no benefit". Baby Charlie has his US visa, and is "fit to fly". At one point, the baby's father, Chris Gard, yelled at a barrister representing the hospital: "When are you going to start telling the truth?"

Ms Yates told the judge: "He is our son". She also said that she had yet to see proof that her son had irreversible brain damage.

Britain's government won't play a role in deciding the future course of Charlie's treatment, an official said Sunday.

In an unexpected development, the hospital treating sick toddler Charlie Gard has applied for another hearing in the High Court - despite the fact that the case has already gone to the European Court on Human Rights.
